[quote=Anonymous]My spouse and I have been together for over eight years.  We have one child.  In the last 4-5 years we start disagreeing on everything.  Even something as simple as teaching how best to learn spelling words or solving basic math.  Worse, we even disagree on how to clean dishes!  I don't get it.  We were never this way in the first 3-4 years of our relationship.  My spouse will disagree with me even on subjects where I have 20-25 years professional experience in.

I brought up the subject this week and asked where all this animosity is coming from.  All I received was denial of any animosity.  I know my spouse is insecure about certain things and it's been admitted during honest conversation (rarely occurs).  But, having disagreements on how to raise our kid regarding the most basic of things is crazy to me.

Example: I want our child, who is nine, to learn how to wash their face with water and soap so when they get older they do it as a habit.  My spouse doesn't think it's important (and our child plays sports four days a week) and just wiping your face is more than fine.  Another example is something as silly as Q-Tips.  I want our child to use one each night so it become a habit.  My spouse does not, saying they only need to be used 1-2 a week.  Yet, our child will come and show us balls of wax in their ear...which would never happen if ears were cleaned every night as a routine.

Is this insecurely multiplied x100?  Do spouses disagree this much on common sense items?[/quote]
